Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Loved walking the farm with Rod, the owner. Was a real pleasure as we had discussions about the cattle herd, Red breasted Robins, island lighthouse in the distance, neighbors, other animals on the farm. Just loved it. Very dark at night with fantastic dark sky stars.

AustraliaWe loved the beautiful cottage. It had everything we needed for a lovely farm stay. We were lucky enough to have Rod take us to meet their beautiful cows. My daughter absolutely loved it. The view from the farm is stunning and the owners were so helpful and quick to respond.

JapanSuch an amazing place! Excellent communication all along from reservation to during our stay. We had the best night's sleep - really comfortable bed and completely silent at night. The stars in the night sky were amazing, we spent ages stargazing before going to bed. The other stars are the cows! Huge thanks to Rod who gave us a great tour and let us get right up close and brush the cows, they were amazing, such lovely animals. All the while the hens pecking around us too, and the friendliest dog tagging along as well. Couldn't have asked for more and we were sad to leave. If we were coming again I'd stay two nights for sure, especially when you buy a ticket for Port Arthur Historic site and it can be used over two days, because it's just a few minutes down the road. Highly recommended!

AustraliaRod and Kim had the cabin ready to settle in straight away, perfect location very close to Port Arthur. Their recommendation for restaurants was great. The Fox and Hound is very close with good value, huge meals. The walk around the farm with Rod was awesome, especially meeting the cows. Dozer is a sweet dog who loves a pat.

BelgiumAll was prefect. And very personal touch. Super convenient.
The stay at the Ruby’s cottage pyt pur trip of Tasmania into a totally new level. Magnificent surroundings, great facilities, warm welcome. Rhos was just a perfect stay. We appreciated the care pf the hosts. The games and toys available for our kids make their stay also more joyful. The meeting of the caws was something exceptional. We really enjoyed also the late evening around the fire pit. A truly exceptional play to stop on Tasman peninsula.

SingaporeA fun experience staying in a farm house. Rod brought us to his farm and we had a lovely time combing the highland cows which are friendly and adorable. The house is well equipped with everything we need and huge enough for a comfortable stay. There is only one air conditioner in the living room that works extremely hard to keep the whole house warm for us in the winter night.

AustraliaMeeting the cows and talking to the host was the highlight of the stay! The location is great after going to the Port Arthur historic site, although to access it is a quite steep dirt road so make sure you have a car that can handle it. Having breakfast provided was so helpful before we drove to our next location!
